General Dentistry Englewood & Bergen County, NJ

General dentistry prevents, evaluates, diagnoses, and treats conditions affecting the oral and maxillofacial areas. Most of general dentistry aims at maintaining your oral health at a level that prevents dental issues from occurring. However, general dental services can also be aimed at restorative measures that repair teeth after damage or decay. At Advanced Dental Care of Englewood, we recommend visiting our office twice a year for a general dental check up so that we can help you maintain your oral health and correct issues before they have a chance to escalate.
